If H = {x : x is an even natural number and x ≤ 10}, how many elements are in H?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 5
The even natural numbers not exceeding 10 are 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10. Counting these distinct elements gives 5. Zero is not included under the usual natural-number convention, and 10 must be included because the condition is ≤ 10. Therefore, option B is correct.
